V2V Black Hops Brewing supports veterans’ organizations
Two years ago, Graeme Hafey found out he had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
A Canadian Armed Forces veteran, who was part of the Royal Canadian Navy as well as the Royal Canadian Air Force, Hafey said he was trained to keep a level-head and calm demeanour.
“It was only two years ago that I realized I had PTSD, and it made sense,” Hafey said. “I had nightmares and cold sweats … I went to the point where I couldn’t handle my stress.”
